It may sound a little creepy, but there are probably few people who know you better than Google. Platforms like Booking, Trip.com, Expedia, and TripAdvisor have already deployed AI-powered tools to create personalized itineraries, but Google doesn't have access to information it already knows about your preferences. The advantage is that you can further customize your travel search.
1. plan your trip
For the ultimate in hassle-free travel planning, some users simply type “plan a trip” into Google Search and see a highly customized itinerary, including flight options and hotels. . The feature is part of Google's Search Generative Experience (SGE) and is currently available on trial to people at so-called Search Lab locations across the United States.
For example, if you ask, “Plan a 3-day history-themed trip to Philadelphia,” you'll get a series of suggestions, including an overview of attractions and restaurants, as well as flight and hotel options. These itineraries include various ideas from sites around the web, as well as reviews, photos and other business his profile details that users have submitted to his Google about his 200 million+ locations around the world. information will be aggregated.
“With all of these links and resources in one place, it's easy to explore more about a destination and compare different options,” said Emmanuel, director of product management search at Google. Malo said in a blog post. “When you're ready, you can instantly export your trip ideas to his Gmail, Docs, and Maps to continue making adjustments and sharing them with your travel buddies.”
2. Google Maps list
Starting with select cities in the United States and Canada, when you search for a city in Maps, you'll now see a list of recommended places from both publishers like The Infatuation and members of the Maps community. The platform also features trending, top, and hidden restaurant lists created by Google Maps based on what people are interested in and love about a city.
Google is also tweaking its existing option to create listings on maps. When you create a list of locations, you can choose the order in which they appear. So you can customize your list based on what you need, by organizing by favorites or chronologically like an itinerary. You can also link to content on your social channels, such as restaurant reviews, to learn more about why you saved that spot to your list.
Both of these updates are expected to roll out to Google Maps on Android and iOS worldwide by the end of March.
3. Swipe for apparel
Google is introducing a personalized style recommendation tool that aims to make it easier for users to find the products they like. Searching for apparel and accessories such as “men's polo shirts” on mobile browsers or the Google app in the US now shows a section called “Style Recommendations.” Quickly evaluate options by swiping your thumb up or down, or left or right, and instantly get results for items that the AI has determined are of the same style. Your settings will be remembered even if you want to finish shopping later.
Four. Instant lens help
Google Lens makes live translation even easier, and you can now use the Circle to Search tool to translate what's on your screen or right in front of you, without having to copy and paste text in your translation app. I did. Circle to Search is currently accessible on Pixel 7 and newer devices and the Samsung Galaxy S24 series in all available languages and regions, and will be rolling out to more devices in the coming weeks.
Just long press the home button or navigation bar and tap the translate icon. On the other hand, if you need to translate things around you, like road signs or posters, just tap the lens icon in the Google app and select a translation filter. Lens automatically detects the source language and blends the translated text into the original language.
Lens is also great for exploring the world around you, especially with the latest AI-powered multi-search upgrade. Simply point your camera and ask questions about what you see, and get helpful insights with AI Overview. Perhaps you are in a museum and want to know more about a particular work of art. You can also take a photo and ask, “Why did the artist paint this?” You'll see an overview of the information you need and links to dig deeper. AI Overview of Multiple Search Results is now available to anyone in the United States in English and does not require registration with Search Labs.
I don't think I'll be asking Google to plan my next trip anytime soon, but as an avid Pixel smartphone user, I've been using both translation tools and Lens (not yet multi) search for a while. I sincerely say they have made my life a lot easier.
